Does not occur naturally in the indigenous dry deciduous, scrub, or thorn forest formations of Gujarat. It exists in Gujarat solely as a cultivated horticultural fruit tree, experimental germplasm accession, or private garden specimen in high-rainfall, frost-free, irrigated pockets of South Gujarat (Navsari, Valsad, and the Dangs) and university horticulture trial plots. In Gujarat Forest Department Non-Forest Tree Resource Surveys (TOF), it does not form a significant component of wild or naturalized growing stock and is cataloged under general "Other Fruit Trees".
